- MitoTracker dye transfers from astrocytes to neurons without mitochondrial transfer.
- Study used GFP and MitoTracker to label astrocytic mitochondria.
- MitoTracker transfer observed with both astrocytes and astrocyte-conditioned media.
- Findings caution against using MitoTracker for studying mitochondrial transfer.
- Alternative labeling techniques are recommended for accurate studies.
